Acronyms used in Coin Collecting

[Smilie Puss]

I have often been confounded with the use of certain acronyms (a word formed from the first [or first few] letters of several words, [such] as radar, from [ra]dio [d]tecting [a]nd [r]anging) used on message boards and by accident, looking for Bolander Number (B#) and Bowers & Borckardt Number (BB#) references, I came across this list. Now when I come across a word or acronym that is unfamilar I may be able to refer to this list. This list is not complete by any means but should be a word reference foundation to be appended when necessary.

 

Hope this will help others with the same problem to now be able to make sense of these new words.

I never realized how many acronyms we use, I suppose it could all be very confusing to people not familiar with our jingo. That's a very useful link you posted, thanks.

Thanks but there are other words that could be substituted for SP that wouldn't be too nice.

Although most of the acronyms listed are not pronouncable they are more initials than acronyms. Agree?
